SHOW TIME!

We can’t believe it’s that time already! The East of England Show returns on June 19 – 21 and this year, the organisers are celebrating the roots of rural life, with a special display of steam-powered and vintage machinery, alongside all the usual family fun! As well as livestock competitions, there’ll be equestrian displays, Showjumping and the Country Sports Arena, which’ll be showcasing loads of mad rural games – they’ll definitely be more interesting than football! If none of this manages to grab your attention, there’ll be the Peterborough International Orchid Society show, and for a little retail therapy you can shop ‘til you drop at over 400 stalls selling everything from clothes and crafts to the finest in local produce. Tickets are £11 for adults, £5 for kids. Box office: 0845 600 5445 or www.eastofengland.org.uk
